Trivia[]
- This is the last episode of 2019, and the last episode of the 2010s decade. There were also no episodes made in 2020, most likely because of…
- Future Alphablocks episodes/specials.
- The COVID-19 pandemic that would come later on in the year.
- This was originally intended to be the series finale.
- This has the second longest time Numberblocks went without making an episode, which was 1 year, 6 months and 20 days (570d). The biggest hiatus between Numberblocks episodes is between Series 5 and Series 6, being 2 years, 8 months and 13 days (983d).
- Some new Numberblocks appear, like Seven Thousand and Ninety Thousand. (However, any character bigger than One Hundred appears only in a non-physical compound form.)
- Twenty-Two is the only figured-out Numberblock at the time to not appear in this episode.
- This episode encourages children (and viewers) to make their own designs of Numberblocks not seen in the show, hence "Think of a number and you could be quick on the draw!"
- This is one of the few song-episodes to have a key change. The others are: "One Hundred", "What's the Difference?", "Eleven", "Twelve", "Thirteen", "Seventeen", "Twenty", "Fun Times One Times Table", "Two Times Shoe Shop", "Circus of Threes", and "Figure It Out".
- This is the 1st episode to have blocks with Ten blocks and One blocks separated, the 2nd being in the Learningblocks special, Crossover.
- Following this episode, the number 97,104 quickly became a meme in the Learningblocks community, likely due to its random nature.
- This is the second episode to feature numbers above 100, after the previous episode.
Community References[]
- Numberblocks that are mentioned, and even shown, but not in physical form include:
- Pi (originally appeared in a tweet in 2017)
- Thirty-Six (who later appeared in Steps Versus Squares)
- Forty-Two (who later appeared in Rescue Racers)
- Forty-Nine (who later appeared alongside Sixty-Four and Eighty-One in Square on the Moon)
- Sixty-Four (who later appeared alongside Forty-Nine and Eighty-One in Square on the Moon)
- This episode features the return of Big Tum and Blockzilla.
- Blockzilla has grown a lot since her debut. She is about three or four times bigger in this episode than in her debut episode.
- Compared to Your Turn, this episode had a dome where 1-20 stood on, and Twenty-One and the tens at the bottom, but in Your Turn, the stage had sunk and the dome only has a capacity of 1-10 while Eleven and over have been exiled from the theatre.
- This could possibly mean that the numbers from 11-100 were leaving offscreen due to it being a Orange Level Two episode.

Subtitle errors[]
The following errors are present in the lyric video on YouTube:
- "more" is absent on "There's so much more to explore, you can add it up, as you've done it before!".
- This also happens whenever Twenty-One or square numbers sing this line (except one for "Hear me roar! There's so much more to explore!").
- In the line "many other squares you've not noticed before", it says "notices" instead of "noticed".
- In the line "Six by Six is the next one in line!", it says "new one" instead of "next one".
- In the line "You'll be better at sums than your chums would've guessed, that's for sure!", it says "you chums" instead of "your chums".
- "a" is absent on "You won't miss a moment, you won't miss a trick".

So
So you see, the design for 42 in the storyboard looks way more than 42 blocks. It comes past the halfway mark and 42 isn’t halfway between 40 to 50.
